@infobeautiful The alt text does not match the image, and there is no mention of wheat at all. Was this produced by AI/LLM?

@infobeautiful Grazeland is not cropland. It's a false equivalent.

@infobeautiful I love when the tofu fields are in bloom!

@infobeautiful I should cut out my daily kilogram of coffee.

@infobeautiful There is ofc a relation between beef, milk, tofu and cheese.

@infobeautiful I want chocolate!

@infobeautiful Most ecosystems need a large grazer species or they go away, and so does nigh-everything adapted to live there.

The human-centric "land area to feed humans" is, well, yet more mass extinction, rather than virtue.

Yes, open-loop farming practices are terrible things and should be replaced with more responsible practices. This is not the same thing as an argument that beef is unbearably agriculturally expensive or that agricultural monoculture is a desirable use of land.

@infobeautiful somebody please tell me how to grow 1kg of carrots on 30cm²

@infobeautiful I am curious about the land usage per calory of some of theses, like between carrot and potatoes. On the other hand, I don't eat coffee or cheese for its calories :3

thanks for sharing, it's a nice way to show things

@infobeautiful Then I should have 4 times more sausages than cheese! 🤓
Does that footprint include water consumption? Since tomatoes need a lot of it, to have a good yield

@infobeautiful

One might grow a kilo of tomatoes on that land but the fertilizer needed is not included

@infobeautiful, there's one thing missing from that: time. Without that, it has to be asked whether that 87.8m² of land is permanently and irrevocably allocated to that 1kg of cheese, and why haven't we run out of land yet…
